Skiigge Böy (Finnish Comedy)
Inspired by @mikkolyytinen 's post
A collection of seven sketches from a Finnish comedy show.
The jokes are actually really stupid, and there's no real point to them outside of beind dumb for the sake of being dumb.
But the sketches from these particular people have always held a special place in my heart. I absolutely hate modern Finnish comedy, and it may have to do with the fact that it's often very unorganic, and attempts to ape American comedy, which just doesn't fit a Finnish setting at all. It all comes off fake and pretentious.
But this comedy team never tried to be anything but what they were: a bunch of guys doing dumb comedy. And there's something very endearing about that. It's sincere and honest.
This collection of seven sketches represent a nature tv show, in which the host speaks jibberish, parodying Norwegian and Danish. I've always considered it admirable how well he manages to speak a completely made up language. I've done something similar in improv myself, and it absolutely is a lot harder than it may seem.
So, yeah, the sketches break language barriers, since the language spoken here doesn't exist.
Enjoy.
sometimes after 10 or so beers, it seems like a good idea to pull pseudolanguages. I guess you could blame this.
Please don't be angry. I'm laughing a lot because of this language. It sounds so funny… but now I understand „dead“ and „snowball“.
That's not Finnish in the video. :)
The joke is that he's speaking a completely made up language. Glad it made you laugh!
